Game engine

Will the game still be on ego or is it on a new engine?

WRC on my PS5 now runs silky smooth since last patch.

I read the reviews and it is on PC where the review said that side by side the EGO games were actually visually superior at this point.

But optimisations for speed (on UE) might have sacrificed the visuals. Once the devs learn the ropes I’m sure it might mean the end to the type of bugs we see with gameplay. Might become different types of bugs, but hey.

They intimated the EGO engine was reaching its limits (with map sizes specifically) but if the stuff is brimming the pot then that’s when spills occur.

@SteveJackson I was thinking performance issues maybe be a case off new game on a new engine that is or was unfamiliar to Codemasters after years of using EGO. Plus with WRC apparently not as popular as it once was. Im guessing the money men crunched the numbers and came up with a disappointingly smaller development budget than the team had hoped. As the game is noticeably lacking in things that doesn’t directly affect gameplay. Such as cinematic cutscenes.

Absolutely. But I also think the devs will be different because of the layoffs. Might take time for the new team to do more with less. 😇

Hey everyone,

we will have more information to share about the game with more specific details in April. Until then, hold your horses, or should I say horsepower? 😉
